Most Favorable Review

nice cheap board

ECS A780LM-M2 AM3 AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ECS A780LM-M2 AM3 AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Cheap - IDE - parallel - serial - adequate performance with AMD 610e 2.4 GH quad core CPU - should work well for most things (and for gaming with a decent video card.)

Cons: no USB 3.0 - no SATA 3.0 - on board video so-so - slightly slower than my 4 year old AMD 9750 2.4 GH quad core.

Overall Review: my first try only showed 1 core running at 2.4 but new power supply seemed to fix it

Most Critical Review

worst viewing angles ever

Seiki SE22FE01 22" Class  1080p LED HDTV
Seiki SE22FE01 22" Class 1080p LED HDTV

Pros: cost

Cons: I purchased this brand once before - took it back after turning it on. I was hoping they had improved their product - not so. The viewing angles are so narrow that it is useable only if seated far from screen - not useable as a monitor - might be OK as TV if you stay well back from screen. Top of screen is dark - bottom is light - there is no angle that works effectively. Cannot recommend this model.

WON"T ROAM

LG Optimus Dynamic 38C Black 800MHz Tracfone Android Smart Phone with 600 Minutes (200 Minute Airtime Card) & Triple Minutes for Life
LG Optimus Dynamic 38C Black 800MHz Tracfone Android Smart Phone with 600 Minutes (200 Minute Airtime Card) & Triple Minutes for Life

Pros: price

Cons: I have used tracfone for many years - best deal around. Their new android smart phones are not useable. Tracfone leases bandwidth from the AT&T and Verizon towers. The phones that use the AT&T towers have a "G" designation (GSM). The ones that use the Verizon towers have the "C" designation (CDMA). ALL current android "smart" tracfones use the "C" towers. A couple of years ago I switched to an LG "C" model (not smart) which works well in my area. I got a friend the LG 38C recently and will not work. We tried several tracfone android models and NONE of them work here!! Several of us sitting at lunch - with tracfone (C models) - dumb phones = 5bars - smart phones = NO SIGNAL!! Extensive web searches indicate that tracfone "smart phones" (android) WILL NOT ROAM!!! they are guaranteed to work in your home zip only!! I don't know if customer service will confirm this. I really want one of these android models but I'll have to wait until they fix this problem.

poor write performance

nice card - bad support

Galaxy GeForce 210 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card 21GGE8HX3BMX

Pros: nice card for the money

Cons: support says 24/7 phone support - but they don't answer!! Be sure the vendor you purchase from has goo support. Website sometimes works.

Overall Review: probably won't purchase another Galaxy product
